Now that we’ve added a ton of local boards, we’re working on our next project. We want to create boards for ethnic and religious weddings, but we’re not sure what to call them. Cultural Boards? Do you have any better ideas?
Also, please let us know which ethnic/cultural/religious boards we should add!

I like Cultural… it encompasses traditions stemming from both religion and ethnicity.
Catholic weddings Board
Chinese weddings Board
….
Actually there are lots! Are you planning to just generalize as Cultural Weddings Board? or make individual ones?
Great idea — I also like “cultural” for the same reasons Chrissie mentioned!
agreed - as a white atheist, i think “cultural” still includes me.
How about a board for cross-cultural weddings? It applies to those people getting married to people not only outside of their faith, but their nationality as well.
Vietnamese wedding board
Pagan please!
I’m with kittenheel–inter-cultural boards would be super helpful!
Heritage and Traditions is my favorite suggestion. What a great way to further connect with those who I have something in common with!
While I like the idea, and I think the local boards help many people, I’m worried that the site will start to get cluttered with all these new additions! I love weddingbee over other social sites like theknot or even facebook because so far it has not been cluttered with too much information or too many levels of information… Facebook is currently planning a revamping of their site to redesign it based on tabbed navigation (just like weddingbee!) so I just hope that this lovely site won’t start moving in the other direction that facebook just came from!
I like jnicholea’s suggestion of “Heritage and Traditions.” It’s a bit more specific than “cultural” and leaves lots of room cross-cultural combinations.
It is getting a little confusing with all the locally-focused posts showing up on the main boards page as well…
there’s a “beehive” button at the top right on the boards page. if you don’t want to see any local listings, you can simply click on that.
I like “Cultural.” Please include a same-sex weddings board!
I like “Cultural” or “Heritage and Customs”
Jewish wedding board, please! Surprisingly, there is a lot of information for interfaith weddings but not that much about modern Jewish weddings. I would love to share information and ask questions of other Jewish brides having a Jewish ceremony.
another vote for non-denominational!
Since the new boards have been added, the site has been loading really slowly and has been crashy. Has anyone else had problems with this?
Asian wedding boards! Like Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian, etc.
I like the idea of the religion boards, too. Like Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, etc.
I’m all for this idea! I think “Cultures and Customs” will probably be able to encompass everything under this topic.
Personally, I would be interested to have Southwest Asia (particularly Vietnamese) and Catholic customs included in the boards.
Cultural traditions/ customs.
This would be so helpful. I am trying to plan a Greek/ Catholic wedding wedding with lots of traditional customs, but don’t know where to start
I second a board for interracial couples and for Southeast Asians (Indian/Hindu board in particular).
An African-American weddings board please!
I agree that “Cultural” covers all the religious/traditional/cultural bases. I think this is such a great idea! My FI is Jewish so planning an interfaith wedding has required some extra research, patience and tact. The cultural boards would definitely help out other brides like me!
I think this is a great idea! Personally, I would like to see boards for the Indian and Persian cultures since I am Indian and my FI is Persian. And of course I would also love to see boards on inter-racial and inter-religious marriages as well!
Forgot to add a request for Muslim boards too! Thanks!
I think Culture and Traditions would be a great add!
would love to see a Filipino wedding traditions board! so hard to find information that isn’t a mail-order bride website (grrr…) In fact, I’ll help fill it in with info I get!
How about “diversity boards”?
I second the request for an African-American board and the many requests for an interracial/multicultural weddings board. Great idea Mrs. Bee
I agree with akimbo — there are a lot of resources for interfaith stuff but I feel like all of these wedding-centric websites have NO clue about traditional Jewish weddings.
I like “Culture” too..
I would like an Asian board-specifically Korean!!!!
I love Miss Bluebells suggestion of Culture Clubs! Cute and funny. I would love to see a Celtic Board.
How about Customs and Traditions, or Heritage Boards? Any way you go sounds like a good idea!
Greek wedding boards
I definitely think that cultural boards would be a great addition, but I also agree that opening the floodgates to create separate boards for every religion & culture would hinder its effectiveness and make it harder for those who are mixing traditions to find answers.
I think a good compromise would be to create a “Heritage & Traditions” board and leave it at that. That being said, if you wanted to add more boards, I would love to see a “Seasons” board; split the months up equally and create one for each quadrant.
I second Miss Jasmine. It would be great to be able to look at one place for people’s input on different Asian wedding ideas. I love reading Miss Jasmine’s posts especially since I can relate with a lot of the traditions, though not neccesarily all of them.
Have you thought about tagging certain posts as being exemplary of certain religious or cultural traditions? Like if someone wanted to read about Vietnamese customs, but didn’t want to search through the whole hive for a Vietnamese bride and/or groom, they could just look for that specific tag in a post.
Great idea! How about Latin American boards? I’m Latina and want to incorporate Latin American traditions. I also like the idea for an inter-racial board.
I like the idea a lot. I’m Orthodox Christian and didn’t know many other Orthodox girls getting married when I was. It would have been nice to have a place to go to compare notes with others. I also think something general, like religions, culture, and traditions would be a good title. Good luck with the decision-making!
Wonderful idea. I would also like to see an interfaith wedding section.
Another request for an African-American board!!
